I would use a separate thread for this, perhaps even a completely detached daemon. You might want to check the docs for threading: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-threading.html and these recipes on how to create a daemon: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/278731 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52216 You can also spawn a separate process with the spawn* family of functions. If you use them with the os.P_NOWAIT mode, your program will not hang until the spawned process finishes.
